I don't think not speaking Japanese is too much of an issue. I didn't have to say anything until I was in the room and they had this list which is pretty much self explantory
the list looks something like this
20min - 15000
30min - 20000
etc
And I did mention to the girl that I was a Gaijin so I don't think that is an issue either. The first thing she asked after we got into the room was whether I know the system. The conversation went something like this
The girl
Sitemu wakarimasuka(Do you know the system)
Me:
Wakarimasen(I don't know)
Watashi wa nihonjin ja nai(I am not a Japanese)
The girl brings up the list and explain the cost
nijuppun jugoman en(20 min 15000 yen)
and so on
I told her I wanted 20 min(you can probably just point at the list). Pay up and she will take care of the rest. Dun really need to communicate too much.
If you want to say it in Japan here's some Japanese 101
ichi = 1
Ni = 2
san = 3
yon = 4
go = 5
juu = 10
pun = min
so juuppun is 10min
nijuppun is 20min
nijuu gopun is 25min and so on
Wakarimasu = understand
Wakarimasen = dun understand
If you want to just ask if they speak English
Eigo ga wakarimasuka
Chances are it will be a big no.
Anyway the girl had this really typical young Japanese/anime-ish girl behavior. If there ever came a time I would totally fall in love with a Pros, this was it. I would seriously return to that place again the next time I visit. It's a bit exp but I think most of us should at least try it once
